Explanation / Answer

In year 2013

Income Tax Refund Receivable = [($20,060 x 35%) + ($56,640 x 50%)] = 35341

Benefit Due to Loss Carryforward = ($177,000 – $20,060 – $56,640 = $100,300) ; ($100,300 x 40%) = 40120

In year 2014

Income Tax Payable = [40% x ($106,200 – $100,300)] = $2,360

For year 2017

Income Tax Refund Receivable = [($35,400 x 40%) + ($35,400 x 40%)] = $28,320
